The Nature of Possession

57 – EP.3 Road to Anhui-3

***

It’s hazy. A huge screen is in front of you.

The light from the projector in the distance illuminates the screen, and the screen passes quickly.

– okay. If there isn’t a dimension you want, I’ll pick one for you.

Something whitish with white wings speaks.

The screen changes.

– I think it needs correction. sleeping for a while

I feel a tingling sensation in my throat, and someone whispers in the distance.

The screen changes.

– Then I’ll have to come again. With Inho.

Someone who sits next to me, smiles, but can’t see his face.

I’ve been swimming in the dark

He floundered and struggled with his limbs, but nothing was caught.

Is this what an astronaut abandoned in space feels like?

Uncertainty creeps in.

– Yes, it belongs to you.

Where are you?

What the hell am I doing?

How can I get out of here?

The swinging limbs are gradually getting heavier, and they cannot move according to their will.

Consciousness is awake, but the body is not moving.

An indescribable emotion, mixed with frustration and fear, overwhelms me.

help me. get me out

Did I just make a noise or was I just thinking.

I think I said it with my mouth open, but there is no sound entering my ears.

Put all your strength into your fingers.

move please…

move!

My head is dizzy. I want to get out of here.

please get me out of here

– sir.

get me out

– Confucius.

please!

“Gongja-nim, get up.”

“Ah… a dream?”

Had the scissors been pressed? My back was covered with cold sweat.

I’m lying down and someone is looking at me.

Who is it.

Slowly, information about her face comes in, and memories return like water coming out of an open dam.

“The kind Soyeon was giving me a lap pillow~”

A monster with Namgung So-yeon’s face looks at me.

***

After coming to his senses, In-ho looked at the ceiling with a blank face, as if he still couldn’t tell the difference between dreams and reality.

Namgung So-yeon, strangely feeling that his gaze was misaligned, pushed her face a little more.

“Don’t you like it? My lap pillow.”

At Namgung So-yeon’s question, In-ho was finally able to confirm his condition.

Namgung So-yeon, kneeling on the stone floor, had the elegance of a lady from a prestigious family, but In-ho had a different idea.

‘Crazy b*tch…’

He wasn’t stupid enough to get the idea out of his mouth.

Namgung So-yeon’s mad face as she strangled herself with bloodshot eyes immediately comes to mind.

He didn’t think of provoking her.

I was thinking of finding a way out without hurting her mood as much as possible.

The Heavenly Demon’s obsession was something that could be controlled to some extent.

He may have understood the feelings of the Heavenly Demon well, but at the bottom of the Heavenly Demon’s obsession was love and concern for Inho.

That’s why we were able to talk to each other and discuss points of compromise.

However, In-ho realized at once that Namgung So-yeon would not be able to do that.

Aside from why she is obsessed with him, the basis of her obsession is delusion.

I created a relationship with Inho who didn’t even exist, and

Recognize that you have heard a title you have never called before.

Namgung So-yeon, who applied her delusion to reality, became an existence that no matter how much she spoke.

On the contrary, the more you try to damage her delusion, the more you will be ‘corrected’ to act according to the delusion.

“Joe, nice. A lap pillow.”

He smiled awkwardly, matching her mood.

Soyeon Namgung touched Inho’s nose with the innocent smile he had shown while traveling to Sacheon.

“I’ll do it often from now on. Now, wake up. There’s a long way to go.”

Namgung So-yeon grabbed In-ho’s hand and pulled it, and he jumped up like a fish caught on a fishing hook.

The sudden injury gave him a headache.

“Where are you going?”

In-ho asked as In-ho walked down the hallway holding her hand.

“We should go to Anhui. We decided to go to the Moorim League.”

Namgung So-yeon replied with the appearance of asking why he asked something obvious.

‘Ah, it was.’

He remembered that they had decided to go to the Moorim Meng together around Sacheon.

In-ho, who was dragged out of the palace by Namgung So-yeon, opened his eyes wide when he saw the collapsed Heukcheongyo Bridge.

“Why is this…”

“They were vicious. They never thought they would annihilate the Blue Dragons. The church members attack, and the leader uses poison. They’re a very vicious group?!”

The palace on fire, the collapsed Cheonma Palace and other buildings.

The gardens that Yeonhwa used to pull by my sleeve.

all dirty

“ah….”

The entrance to Black Heaven. A lot of people are scattered.

Usually those who wear the clothes of black heavenly religion. Rotten and discolored skin, blood from eyes, nose and mouth.

“What the hell is going on…”

“It’s poison. Everyone became like this because of the poison the enemy leader used. To use poison while knowing that his church members would also get caught up in it. What a cruel man.”

“Don’t go near Gongja Kang. He might still have poison.”

Namgung So-yeon stopped In-ho from approaching the corpse.

In-ho tried his best to head towards it even when his hand was being held, but he couldn’t escape like a puppy tied to a leash.

“Um… I shouldn’t have shown Gongja something unpleasant like this… I was short on my mind. Wait a minute~”

Namgung So-yeon let go of his hand and swings her arm, and corpses start flying.

For some reason, corpses flew in and piled up in one place like a mountain.

Each time the corpses gathered one by one, Inho’s pupils shook mercilessly.

Then, when In-young, who was also very familiar with In-ho, flew in, he sat down on the floor.

“That’s the enemy’s leader.”

Not only was the head and body separated, but a piece of meat with a huge hole in the chest flew down and was placed on top of a mountain of corpses.

In-ho looked carefully.

The face of Jegalhwi, who could not close his eyes, and the half-melted face of plum blossoms, as well as the members of Heukcheongyo who greeted him as they came and went.

“Uh… uh… no…”

“To be sure, a fire would be good, right?”

As Namgung So-yeon snapped her fingers, sparks ignited the bottom of the corpse’s mountain.

The flames slowly spread upward, devouring the flesh and clothes of the church members and members of the Blue Dragon.

Eventually, seeing that it had turned into a huge piece of firewood, In-ho could not stand it and burst into tears.

“No eh eh eh… General… Maehwa…”

Crying out, Inho hit the stone floor.

bang bang bang

Blood flowed from his fists every time he hit the stone floor with all his might.

“I’m sorry… I… I’m sorry… for me!”

Crying and coughing like vomiting. Namgung So-yeon held his hand, which was covered with tears and runny nose.

“How much heartache must you have to cry like this…”

Namgung Soyeon hugged him and made eye contact with him.

Like a mother comforting her child, she patted him on the back.

“I’m fine now. I’ve cleaned up all the bad stuff. Don’t worry.”

Namgung So-yeon smiled at him and placed her hands on the sides of In-ho’s face.

– Kuwook

Namgung So-yeon, who held In-ho’s head tightly, lifted the corner of his mouth with both thumbs.

“It’s a happy day. Smile.”

A forced smiling face.

His tears continued to fall, but his mouth kept smiling.

He cried and laughed until the mountain of corpses was reduced to ashes.

“Here’s a happy smile~”

Namgung So-yeon smiled brightly, as if she really liked that look.
